UFC.com’s Top Ten Knockouts of 2014

Today Thomas Gerbasi of UFC.com posted his list for the ten best knockouts of 2014. With hundreds of fights and plenty of knockouts, these are the best of the best:

10) Abel Trujillo – Jamie Varner

9) Mike Wilkinson – Niklas Backstrom

8) Albert Tumenov – Matt Dwyer

7) Fabricio Werdum – Mark Hunt

6) Dan Henderson – Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua

5) Roy Nelson – Minotauro Nogueira

4) Mark Hunt – Roy Nelson

3) Josh Samman – Eddie Gordon

2) Chris Beal – Patrick Williams

1) Dong Hyun Kim – John Hathaway

South Korea’s Dong Hyun Kim has gone through a transformation in his last few fights in the UFC, replacing his conservative grappling-based attack with an aggressive, crowd-pleasing assault. In March, Kim took on England’s John Hathaway, and in the third round he scored with a spinning elbow that knocked The Hitman out immediately. What places it at number one on this list isn’t just the technique involved and the finality of the shot, but the sound. Even through computer speakers, when you heard him land the elbow, you knew the fight was over. That’s a scary knockout, and in my eyes it’s clearly the best of 2014.
